It was great on the track today. the motor never got above 130F Tho, I am using an RCM heatsink/clamp. and I was only able to go about 20 minutes or so with each pack....not because I ran out of power, but because I'm a crappy driver and I kept breaking stuff 
all n all, i'm happy with my hobbycity "spinning toaster of death" as suicideneil likes to call them.
I recommend the L size as well, tho running 3s with a 3500kv puts you pretty close to the 40000rpm mark, and these tend to run hot. you may want to consider the lower kv motor.
....then again, if you get the higher kv motor, and it runs good......let me know!  |
What lipo are you running?(mah)
